The prescription may include, for example, a digital type prescription (e.g., a personal health record (PHR)) corresponding to a user registered in the electronic device (200) (e.g., a user account and / or user identification information). The electronic device (200) may receive the prescription from a medical institution (e.g., a server of the medical institution). In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may obtain a prescription converted into a digital type from an external electronic device via a network (e.g., a first network (198) and / or a second network (199) of FIG. 1) when a paper type prescription is scanned by an external electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) that includes a camera. In one embodiment, the patient identification information included in the prescription may differ from the user identification information registered in the electronic device (200). For example, the patient corresponding to the prescription may be a family member of the user registered in the electronic device (200) or a patient cared for by the user.

[0060] In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) can control the operation of multiple external electronic devices so that multiple external electronic devices perform multiple tasks associated with prescription information based on verifying various prescription information included in the prescription. The electronic device (200) can output (391) a task result report (393) corresponding to the prescription (301) based on verifying that the multiple tasks have been completed. The task result report (393) may include information associated with the results of the execution of the multiple tasks (e.g., success or failure of task execution). The information associated with the results of the task execution may include a score associated with the patient's prescription compliance.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, an electronic device (200) can communicate (401) with a plurality of external electronic devices of various types (wearable device (410), mobile device (420)), and robotic device (430) through a network (440) (e.g., the first network (198) and / or the second network (199) of FIG. 1). The electronic device (200) can set a task execution schedule for a plurality of external electronic devices so that the plurality of external electronic devices perform a plurality of tasks associated with prescription information. Tasks associated with prescription information may include operations such as measuring a patient's vital signs, assisting the patient's exercise, and providing notifications for the patient's medication.

[0062] In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may set a task execution schedule for a plurality of external electronic devices so that a plurality of external electronic devices assist the patient based on collaboration. A nursing robot operated by an expert may manage the patient's condition and assist the patient in a confined space, either independently or individually, without collaboration with other electronic devices. The nursing robot may, for example, guide the patient's medication based on schedule information and monitor the patient's vital signs using at least one sensor. The at least one sensor may include a sensor configured to measure the user's (or patient's) vital signs (or collect physical information). The at least one sensor may include, for example, at least one of a blood pressure sensor, an ECG (electrocardiography) sensor, a heart rate sensor, an oxygen saturation sensor, a body temperature sensor, or a blood glucose sensor. The nursing robot may detect that an emergency has occurred if the patient's vital signs decrease below a set value. Based on detecting that an emergency has occurred, the nursing robot may protect the patient by performing a set task. A specialist can assist a patient by individually controlling a nursing robot that operates based on a pre-set pattern and a passively controlled medical device. When multiple external electronic devices operate based on the specialist's intervention, human error may occur. If multiple external electronic devices are not connected to each other, loss of monitoring information may occur due to the failure of at least one of the multiple external electronic devices. The electronic device (200) can improve the possibility of performing tasks by multiple external electronic devices without the specialist's intervention by setting a schedule for multiple external electronic devices located in the patient's living space.

[0063] Referring again to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, a type classification module (310) can identify a prescription type based on prescription content (e.g., prescription information) included in a prescription of a patient (or a user registered in the electronic device (200)). The prescription type may include, for example, at least one of a medication prescription (or drug prescription), an exercise prescription, a treatment prescription, a diet prescription, a measurement prescription (or test prescription), or a device usage prescription. A medication prescription may include a prescription instructing the patient to take a drug at a set interval during a prescribed period or to apply a drug to the skin. For example, a medication prescription for a flu patient may include identification information of the flu drug (e.g., drug name or drug ingredient), the frequency of taking the flu drug, or information related to the timing of taking the flu drug. An exercise prescription may include a prescription specifying the type and method of exercise required to improve the patient's symptoms or restore health. For example, an exercise prescription for a patient with Parkinson's disease may include a prescription instructing the patient to perform arm stretches at a set time interval (e.g., 2 hours) during the day. A treatment prescription may include a prescription to improve the patient's condition. For example, a treatment prescription for an addiction patient may include a prescription to limit access (or usage frequency) to the addictive substance (e.g., drugs or games). A dietary prescription may include a prescription for managing the patient's diet.For example, a dietary prescription for a patient with hyperlipidemia may include a prescription recommending the consumption of mixed-grain rice instead of white rice and limiting fat intake. A measurement prescription may include a prescription instructing periodic examinations (or measurements) to monitor the patient's disease status (e.g., vital signs or body components). For example, a measurement prescription for a patient with hypertension may include a prescription instructing periodic blood pressure measurements. A prescription for a patient with diabetes may include a prescription instructing the measurement of fasting blood sugar ("FBS") or postprandial blood glucose. A device usage prescription may include a prescription instructing the patient to use equipment to manage the disease, perform measurements, or restore health. For example, a device usage prescription for a patient with a sleep disorder may include a prescription instructing the use of a CPAP machine to improve sleep apnea. Prescription types are not limited to the examples described above and may include various prescription types depending on the contents of the prescription. The electronic device (200) can classify prescription information (or a combination of prescription types) into types that can be performed by an external electronic device based on an analysis of the prescription contents included in the prescription.

[0064] In one embodiment, the device collection module (320) may collect (e.g., verify identification information of external electronic devices) a plurality of external electronic devices located in the space where the user lives (e.g., residence, workplace, or inside a vehicle). The plurality of external electronic devices may be electronic devices registered to the electronic device (200) (or server) using the user's account. The plurality of external electronic devices may include devices controllable by the user (or electronic devices owned by the user). For example, the user may register electronic devices such as wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches), home robots, and automobiles to the server using the user account. The device collection module (320) may select an electronic device (e.g., home robot and / or smartwatch) suitable for the type of prescription from among the plurality of electronic devices registered based on the user account. In one embodiment, the device collection module (320) may classify external electronic devices to be used for task execution based on obtaining information (e.g., identification information) of the plurality of external electronic devices from the external electronic device (e.g., a module managing a list of multiple electronic devices). The external electronic device collected by the device collection module (320) may provide functions related to healthcare. For example, the external electronic device may measure the patient's vital signs, guide the patient's exercise, or provide notifications for the patient's medication. The device collection module (320) may collect capability information of the external electronic device. The capability information may include information related to the type of the external electronic device and at least one function provided by the external electronic device. The type of the external electronic device may include, for example, a wearable type, a stationary type, a mobile type, and a robotic type. Information related to the type of the external electronic device may be referred to as characteristic information or feature information of the external electronic device.A wearable type external electronic device may include an electronic device worn by a user (e.g., a smart watch, a smart band, a head-mounted display (HMD), and / or a smart ring). A stationary type external electronic device may include, for example, a digital device located at the user's residence (e.g., a refrigerator, a water purifier, and / or a TV). A mobile type external electronic device may include a movable device (e.g., a portable infusion pump, a portable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, and / or a portable ultrasound monitor). A robotic type device may include a device that provides mobility functions (e.g., a personal robot including a dual-lens projector, a drive system, and multiple wheels). The device collection module (320) may collect information related to task performance capabilities corresponding to multiple external electronic devices in order to appropriately distribute multiple tasks corresponding to a prescription and improve prescription performance (or prescription compliance).

[0065] In one embodiment, the task distribution module (330) can distribute a plurality of tasks corresponding to a prescription to a plurality of external electronic devices based on output information of the type classification module (310) (e.g., a result of classifying the type of a prescription) and output information of the device collection module (320) (e.g., a result of collecting a healthcare device). In one embodiment, the task distribution module (330) may include a task distribution model (331) trained to distribute a plurality of tasks to a plurality of external electronic devices. The task distribution module (330) can execute the task distribution model (331) based on parameters stored in, for example, a memory (220) (e.g., the memory (220) of FIG. 2). The task distribution module (330) can identify a task corresponding to each of the plurality of external electronic devices based on information output from the task distribution model (331) by, for example, inputting information associated with the prescription type and capability information of the plurality of external electronic devices into the task distribution model (331). The capability information input to the task distribution model (331) may include, for example, at least one of sensing information obtained by a sensor included in an external electronic device, information related to the accuracy of the sensor, or information related to the battery life of the external electronic device, and there are no limitations on the examples of capability information. The method by which the task distribution module (330) distributes multiple tasks to multiple external electronic devices is not limited to the examples described above. For example, the task distribution module (330) may distribute multiple tasks to multiple external electronic devices using a rule-based method.

[0066] The scheduling DB (340) can store information related to the schedule for multiple external electronic devices. The scheduling DB (340) can be stored in at least a portion of the memory (220).

[0067] In one embodiment, the schedule generation and control module (350) can generate a schedule for a plurality of external electronic devices and control the operation of the plurality of external electronic devices based on output information (e.g., device-specific tasks) of the task distribution module (330). When the plurality of external electronic devices perform a plurality of tasks, a conflict may occur between the external electronic devices. The schedule generation and control module (350) can schedule the time at which each of the plurality of external electronic devices performs a task based on the fact that the plurality of external electronic devices can perform at least the distributed tasks simultaneously. For example, the schedule generation and control module (350) can obtain a task execution schedule for a multi-device based on at least one of a priority, a task execution time, or a task execution location corresponding to each of the plurality of external electronic devices. Each of the plurality of external electronic devices can assist a patient by performing tasks instructed by the electronic device (200) based on the set schedule (e.g., time and location).

[0068] In one embodiment, the schedule regeneration and control module (360) may change the task execution schedule if a failure (or error) occurs in an external electronic device performing a task assigned based on receiving at least one task. The failure of the external electronic device may regenerate the task execution schedule and control the operation of the external electronic devices corresponding to the regenerated task execution schedule based on the occurrence of a task execution failure by at least one of the external electronic devices corresponding to the set task execution schedule. A task execution failure may occur due to various causes. The schedule regeneration and control module (360) may confirm that an event for changing the device group occurs, for example, when a new external electronic device is detected. Based on the occurrence of an event for changing the device group, the schedule regeneration and control module (360) may set a schedule for the changed device group based on the information output by the task distribution module (330) by inputting prescription information and capability information into the task distribution module (330). Each of the multiple external electronic devices can continue seamless operation by performing tasks directed by the electronic device (200) based on a changed schedule.

[0069] In one embodiment, the task execution determination module (370) can determine whether a task has been performed by each of the plurality of external electronic devices. The task execution determination module (370) can determine whether a task has been performed and the result of the task execution (e.g., task execution success or task execution failure). For example, if the type of external electronic device corresponds to a robot-type device that provides mobility functions, the task execution determination module (370) can determine whether a task execution failure has occurred based on the battery status of the robot-type device. The task execution determination module (370) can determine the execution results of a plurality of tasks corresponding to a prescription based on checking the task execution results by each of the plurality of external electronic devices. In one embodiment, if a task execution failure occurs by at least one of the plurality of external electronic devices, the task execution determination module (370) can provide information indicating that a task reassignment is required to the schedule regeneration and control module (360).

[0070] In one embodiment, the location monitoring module (380) can monitor whether an event for changing the device group has occurred. An event for changing the device group may occur when the battery of an external electronic device is discharged, when the state of an external electronic device changes (e.g., when a function provided by the external electronic device changes), or when a new external electronic device covering the user's location is detected. The location monitoring module (380) can determine whether an event for changing the device group has occurred based on the type of the external electronic device, the capability information of the external electronic device, and the movement environment of the patient (or user) (e.g., movement pattern according to time of day). The location monitoring module (380) can monitor the location (e.g., location information within the patient's residence map) and mobility status corresponding to each of the multiple external electronic devices. For example, if the type of the external electronic device corresponds to a robot-type device that provides mobility functions, the location monitoring module (380) can determine whether an event for changing the device group has occurred based on the location and coverage (e.g., the movable range of the robot-type device) of the robot-type device. The location monitoring module (380) can confirm that an event for changing the device group occurs when an exception to the range of action is detected (e.g., when the patient's location is outside the coverage of the robotic device). When an event for changing the device group occurs, the location monitoring module (380) can provide information indicating that a task reassignment is required to the schedule regeneration and control module (360). In one embodiment, the task execution determination module (370) and the location monitoring module (380) may be implemented as an integrated module.

[0071] In one embodiment, the schedule generation and control module (350) may output (391) a report (393) containing task execution results when no event for changing the task execution schedule occurs until a plurality of tasks are completed. The schedule regeneration and control module (360) may output (391) a report (393) containing task execution results when a plurality of tasks are completed by a plurality of external electronic devices based on the changed task execution schedule. In one embodiment, the schedule generation and control module (350) and the schedule regeneration and control module (360) may be implemented as an integrated module.

The task execution schedule may include a task execution procedure, a time of execution, and a location of execution. The electronic device (200) may set a task execution schedule based on priority to reduce the possibility of collisions between external electronic devices. The electronic device (200) may transmit task execution requests to multiple external electronic devices based on the set task execution schedule. The electronic device (200) may transmit task execution requests that include information related to where, how, and at what frequency each of the multiple external electronic devices performs the assigned task. The multiple external electronic devices may perform a task corresponding to the type of prescription based on receiving the task execution request. For example, if the type of prescription corresponds to an exercise prescription, a stationary device (e.g., a TV) may provide a video guiding a stretching method for a Parkinson's disease patient at a set time. A robotic device providing mobility functions may move to the patient's location at a set exercise time and check the patient's movement.The robotic device can check whether the patient's movement matches the prescribed exercise method. Based on whether the patient's movement does not match the prescribed exercise method, the robotic device can guide the correct exercise posture.

[0092] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for guiding a patient's exercise with an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is an illustrative diagram illustrating a method for guiding a patient's exercise with an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0093] In one embodiment, the operations illustrated in FIG. 7 may be performed in various orders, not limited to the order illustrated. For example, the order of each operation may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. According to one embodiment, more operations may be performed than those illustrated in FIG. 7, or at least one fewer operation may be performed.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 7, in operation 701, in one embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., the robotic device (430) of FIG. 4) may receive a request to perform a task corresponding to an exercise prescription. The electronic device (430) may include a camera and a projector and may be a robotic device that provides mobility functions. When the type of prescription for a patient (e.g., a patient with Parkinson's disease) corresponds to an exercise prescription, the electronic device (430) may receive a request to perform a task corresponding to an exercise prescription from an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2). At least one task corresponding to an exercise prescription may include at least one of an exercise time notification, an exercise posture guide, or feedback of the exercise results, as shown in Table 1.

[0095] Task Type: Exercise Exercise Method: Raise arms 90 degrees or more, repeat 10 times for 3 sets, within 10 seconds per set, perform with right arm and left arm separately Notification Time: 30 minutes after meals Provide exercise guide to patient Exercise Time: 3 times a day, within 1 hour after meals Exercise Guide Message: "Repeat raising and lowering arms 10 times for 3 sets." "Repeat raising and lowering the right arm 10 times."

[0096] Referring to Table 1, a task execution request may include a task type, an exercise method, a notification time, an exercise time, and a guide message. The electronic device (430) may perform a task associated with an exercise prescription based on the information included in the task execution request. In operation 703, in one embodiment, the electronic device (430) may check whether an event for notification has occurred. In one embodiment, the electronic device (430) may check that an event for notification has occurred based on confirming that the current time is an exercise time corresponding to the task execution schedule.

Referring to FIG. 8, the electronic device (430) can guide (811) the type and method of exercise of the patient (801) based on task request information. In operation 709, in one embodiment, the electronic device (430) can verify the patient's movements. Referring again to FIG. 8, the electronic device (430) can capture (815) the movements of the patient (801) using a camera included in the electronic device (430).

[0099] In operation 711, in one embodiment, the electronic device (430) can determine whether the patient's movement is normal. The electronic device (430) can determine whether the patient's exercise has been performed normally in order to improve the effectiveness of the exercise prescription. In one embodiment, based on determining that the patient's movement is not normal (operation 711-No), the electronic device (430) can provide a notification in operation 713. Referring to FIG. 8, if the patient performs a movement different from the guided movement, the electronic device (430) can guide the normal movement (813) through an output device. The electronic device (430) may also monitor the patient's (801) biometric information based on collaboration with another external electronic device (e.g., a wearable device (410)). For example, the electronic device (430) may receive information related to the heart rate measured by the wearable device (410) from the wearable device (410). The electronic device (430) and the wearable device (410) can communicate based on establishing a device-to-device (D2D) connection and may also be connected via a server. The electronic device (430) can provide exercise guidance based on the heart rate of the patient (801). For example, if the heart rate of the patient (801) exceeds a set threshold, it can guide the patient (801) to stop exercising.

[0100] Guide Method: If the arm goes up 90 degrees or less, "Your arm is only going up 20 degrees. Try raising it over 90 degrees." If the arm goes up over 90 degrees, "Good. The angle is being maintained."

[0101] Referring to Table 2, in one embodiment, the electronic device (430) can guide the patient according to a set guide method. In one embodiment, based on confirming that the patient's movement is normal (Movement 711-Yes), the electronic device (430) can guide the next movement in Movement 715.

[0102] If 10 reps are completed, "10 reps finished. Rest for 1 minute, then start 10 reps again." If 3 sets are completed, "Well done." If performance improves by N%, "Your arm movement is 3% better than yesterday." Next workout reminder: "The next workout is at 7:00 PM after dinner." How to end task: Move to standby position.

[0103] Referring to Table 3, the electronic device (430) can provide a notification for the next exercise based on confirming that the patient's exercise is normal. The electronic device (430) can terminate the task according to a set task termination method.
